Before They Were Stars: Middle child of James and Lynn Spears, Britney Spears started winning awards for her singing and dancing from an early age. Her mother moved Britney and her sister Jamie to New York to enroll Britney in Manhattan’s Professional Performing Arts School. Soon, she appeared on Star Search and landed a spot on The Mickey Mouse Club in 1992 with Christina Aguilera and future public romance Justin Timberlake.
Where Are They Now: In 1999, Britney released her debut album, …Baby One More Time, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 list catapulting Spears into pop stardom. Her followup albums were wildly successful and lead to buzz-worthy performances at MTV’s VMAs, a starring role in 2002’s Crossroads, a short-lived restaurant, and numerous fragrances. Spears has been married twice and has two children, often gracing tabloids because of personal and family problems. In 2011, she released her 7th album and planned a world tour. More recently, she split from her agent boyfriend after getting engaged, and is busy raising her two sons.

Let’s say farewell to our whiskey swilling, laser tag playing, red cowboy boot wearing group by looking back at their high school pictures. Sadly, none of them had a goth phase like Lily Aldrin.

For the holidays, Snakkle takes a fun look back at these singing sensations way back before the fame, when the stars were still just in their eyes.

It sounds sort of naughty, doesn’t it? It’s the powerful star taking advantage of an underling. But fear not, we present here stories of true love (sort of) that have lasted the test of time (sometimes) between celebs and their makeup artists, nannies, bodyguards, and more.
